Bug ID: 467914
Summary: Every file type Krita is set to open by default is
labeled simply "Image File" with no distinction
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version: 5.1.5
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Three photos each of two image files (a PNG on the left and a JPEG on the
right) being labeled in different ways, put together into a collage.
SUMMARY
Every single file type is labeled in File Explorer as just "Image File" if the
user has set Krita to open files with their extensions onto by default.
For example, if you have Windows set to open both .png and .jpg files in Krita,
the "Type" section in relevant viewports (like the Details view, as well as the
Details pane in the right sidebar if that's turned on) simply labels each file
as just "Image File". This, despite the file types having multiple well-known
differences in how image data is stored.
Other apps don't give each file type a name, so the Windows File Explorer
default is just "$EXTENSION File", like "PNG File" or "JPG File". (See
attachments 5 and 6 for the Windows 10|11 built-in Photos app.)
Certain programs, like LibreOffice Draw, go out of their way to provide more
detailed descriptions of a file's type, like labeling a .png as "Portable
Network Graphics". (See attachments 3 and 4).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open File Explorer.
2. Go to a folder with both a .png file and a .jpg file on them.
3. Make sure Windows is set to open Krita for both file types by default. (To
be sure, right-click, then "Open with >", then "Choose another app", then
select "Krita", then "Always" button.)
4. In File Explorer's top bar, click the "View" dropdown, select "Details".
(Alternatively or additionally, "View" then "Show >" then check "Details
pane".)
OBSERVED RESULT
See both of them labeled under "Type" column as "Image File", with no
distinction between PNGs and JPEGs. (See attachments 1 and 2.)
EXPECTED RESULT
See the .png file labeled as "PNG File", or much better, "Portable Network
Graphics File". Then see the .jpg file labeled as "JPG File" or "Joint
Photographic Experts Group File".
